I have a lot to be Thankful for

The engaged couple leaving for Clark's sisters house
Sam, before nap
The Whole group (Minus Sam who was napping)
Thanksgiving Day was a good day. We started by getting Mel back from Japan. He
drove in at around 9:20 am and started right in on the Turkey, (What a guy) and we
all got to work. Clark and Michelle went over to his sister's house and spent a few
hours with them, and then came back to spend the rest of the day with us. They
arrived at almost the same time that Ron and ReNae did. Tyler and Anna and kids
arrived earlier. It was fun to have food brought from everyone. Tyler and Anna brought crescent rolls, cranberry sauce and cream cheese pie. Ron and ReNae brought sour cream/cream cheese potatoes, cinnamon sticky rolls, fruit salad and pumpkin cake. We
took care of the turkey, stuffing, peas, corn, green bean casserole, (Andrea made it ( : },
gravy, apple pie, and pumpkin pie/whip cream. Andrea brought an apple and caramel cheesecake. That's all I can think of at this time. Some of the time we watched a movie,
we talked, Tyler, Clark and Julie played catch, with Grace on the trampoline. Ron,
ReNae, Tyler, Mel, Anna etc. sat and went through a box we'd gotten from Linda that
had lots of paraphernalia that we'd given to Eleanor and LaMar over the years.
It was fun to reminisce. I am Thankful for the time spent with Family.

I miss little sam-o in the picture. He must have been sleeping or something. Everyone looks really good - Wish we could have been there for the whole shebang. All that food sounds good. But - I did make cream cheese pie this year - and Andy said it was the best one I have made yet... he will end up loving it before we know it.
